About this property

Overlooking Lynmouth Bay, this charming 14th-century thatched inn is situated on the edge of Exmoor National Park. The Rising Sun Hotel offers fresh local seafood and scenic views. Rising Sun Hotel is set in former fishermen’s cottages, and features wonderful crooked staircases, narrow passageways and low beams. The hotel overlooks picturesque cliffs and a small harbour. The candlelit, oak-panelled restaurant serves classic British cuisine, including fresh local game and Lynmouth lobster. The cosy bar offers free Wi-Fi access, real ales and hearty cooked breakfasts. With individual character and original features, the elegant bedrooms each have a TV and tea/coffee facilities. The luxurious bathrooms have free toiletries, and some feature a stand-alone bath. The Rising Sun is just a mile from the famous Valley of Rocks, with its herd of wild goats. Parking is available nearby, and Exmoor Zoo is just 10 miles away. The nearby cliff-top walks offer panoramic views.

Couples particularly like the location — they rated it 9.6 for a two-person trip.
